Negative - Heavy components

The battery, the motor and the front chain cluster/hub/cranks are quite heavy, especially compared to the bike weight.

The front chain ring hub & cranks are much heaver than a normal setup. This made the normally quite light bike overall a very heavy machine.

However, being centrally located, the weight does not effect the bike's balance too badly. My other bike with a child seat + 2.5 yo kid on the back handles much worse.
